CTA BUSES & TRAINS

The CTA provides bus and train service within the City of Chicago. Bronzeville is served by two CTA train lines (the Red and Green lines), and more than a dozen bus lines. Information about fares, including reduced and youth fares and payment options, can be found here.

Metra provides suburban rail services. Bronzeville is served by the Metra Electric District (numerous stops in Bronzeville) and the Rock Island District (closest Stop: 35th Street/’Lou’ Jones/Bronzeville Station). Metra and CTA fare cards are not interchangeable.

Ventra is a new combined fare card that can be used on either CTA or Pace suburban buses. Ventra is launching in August for selected riders, and will be available to the general public starting in September. By December 2013, Ventra will have replaced all CTA and Pace cards (including the Chicago Card). Cash fares will still be accepted on buses. Reduced fares will remain the same with Ventra.
